ASTI FEYNMAN CHALLENGE

3 Aug 2020

ASTI Feynman Challenge is a project designed in the times of the COVID Lockdown. We are running this competition on-line for all communities which includes families, refugees, orphanages, etc. We believe that the learning process should never stop no matter what the circumstances. As Eric Hoffer said “In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exist”.

The teams can be made up of parent and children, brothers and sisters, friends and study buddies. The teams does not need to be living together and may communicate via online platforms such as zoom etc.

ASTI Feynman Challenge is an online challenges where the students should work as a team, 2-5 person per team. The team is to invent something with a scientific principle that they have learn in school. The invention should be with day to day objects they would find at home. For example, they can design a catapult with clips and rubber bands. The team must then video tape their explanation of the scientific concept with the invention they had developed. So in summary, the invention is basically a teaching tool. Each video can be no more than 5 minutes long. The video can be recorded using their mobile phones.
